JetBrains RubyMine 1.0 — Brand New Ruby and Rails IDE

JetBrains releases RubyMine, a full-featured development environment for
productive
Ruby and Ruby on Rails development

April 28, 2009

Prague, Czech Republic, April 28, 2009 — JetBrains, the creators of
intelligent,
productivity-enhancing development tools, have announced the general availability of
RubyMine 1.0, the
company's new IDE for productive Ruby and Rails development.

Since the initial announcement of RubyMine IDE and its Public Preview release in
November, the new product
has received great attention from the Ruby and Rails developers community. "Despite the
belief that most
Ruby/Rails developers are happy writing code in simple text editors, we had RubyMine
downloaded around
25,000 times since the Public Preview announcement. Early RubyMine adopters provided a
great deal of
feedback and worthy improvement suggestions," said Dmitry Jemerov, the RubyMine lead
developer. "We are
certain that, as with all of our highly-intelligent development tools, Ruby developers
can be extremely
productive by using RubyMine. In fact, version 1.0 is just the beginning — we have
tons of ideas and
plans for new releases."

One of RubyMine's key advantages is its deep understanding of the Ruby language's
specifics, its dynamic
nature, and code conventions. RubyMine performs a comprehensive analysis of project code
and offers
developers best-in-class code insight and code completion suggestions that no other
Ruby/Rails IDE does.
Based on its knowledge of the internals of the Rails framework, RubyMine provides a
range of effective
Rails-aware refactorings, which greatly simplifies making changes to the code.

JetBrains' flagship product, IntelliJ IDEA, has always been highly praised for its web
development
capabilities, such as great HTML, CSS and JavaScript editing support. RubyMine builds
upon these
capabilities with its own amazing features for Ruby and Rails developers. Its
web-authoring strengths are a
great match for an easier and more productive web development with Ruby on Rails.

Other RubyMine 1.0 key features include:

Advanced support for Ruby on Rails development — including Rails-aware code
completion,
inspections and refactorings, specialized project views and quick navigation.

Version Control Systems integration — with unified UI and advanced features
such as change lists
and shelved changes for all supported systems. Integration with Subversion, Git,
Perforce, and CVS is
available out of the box.

Graphical Ruby and Rails Debugger — with breakpoints in Ruby code and even in
Rails RHTML view
files.

Open API for creating plugins in Ruby or Java — plus a number of already
available IDE plugins.

A single-developer Commercial License is priced at $99 (US). The license includes free
RubyMine updates
for 1 year after the purchase date, covering even major new releases. RubyMine is going
to be updated
frequently, with major improvements and support for new technology features in every new
release.
